What are the symptoms of hepatitis C?

Patient's question:

My wife got hepatitis B because I usually hear more about the symptoms that many people get hepatitis B, while hepatitis C is relatively rare. I don't understand much about this. Hello, what are the symptoms of hepatitis C, and what should be paid attention to?

Doctor's answer:

Most cases of hepatitis C have relatively mild symptoms. When symptoms are mild, they may simply include nausea, decreased appetite, and general weakness. Some people may also experience symptoms such as yellow urine or jaundice (yellowing of the eyes). A small portion of patients can spontaneously clear the hepatitis C virus, achieving full recovery. A very small number of people with hepatitis C are discovered during routine check-ups. Well, hepatitis C only leads to jaundice relief, ascites, or hepatic encephalopathy when it has progressed to liver cirrhosis and multiple episodes of decompensation occur.
